Abstract

An increasing body of evidence supports a trophic action of γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) during nervous system development. The purported mediator of these trophic effects is a depolarizing response triggered by GABA, which elicits a calcium influx in immature CNS cells. This Mini‐Review focuses on the neurotrophic role of neural activity and GABA and some of the most common intracellular cascades activated by depolarization and trophic factors. Several biological effects induced by GABA in the developing nervous system are reviewed, with particular emphasis on what is known about calcium‐dependent neurotrophic effects induced by GABA and its intracellular mechanisms. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Glutamate (L-glu) is the most important excitatory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. Its action is terminated by transporters located in the plasma membrane of neurons and glial cells, which have a critical role in preventing glutamate excitotoxicity under normal conditions.

## Abstract Kainic acid (KA)‐induced status epilepticus (SE) is a well‐characterized model of excitotoxic neuronal injury. Excitotoxicity results from activation of specific glutamate receptors, with resultant elevation of intracellular Ca^2+^. The CA1 and CA3 subregions of the hippocampus are espe
